@ponderingpolitics.bsky.social reacts to the defeat of incumbent #Republican Senator #BillCassidy in the Louisiana primary by a Trump-backed challenger. While the MAGA candidate easily defeated Cassidy, Donald Trump couldn't be bothered to congratulate her, he chose gloating youtu.be/V78YoXlQDhU?...

OH SH*T! Trump and Republican ...
OH SH*T! Trump and Republican HUMILIATE EACH OTHER

I easily crush the #GOP when they bring their #Bible to talk with me. Send in the #clowns. And when it comes to #money, it's even worse. I own them inside out. If I ever can get on a stage with any #Republican of note, it will be a 17 second submission like just happened in the ring. Booyah!

Let's not bring them to the table.

The Republican Party is fascist from the top to the bottom. They are anti-democracy, and they will never negotiate voting rights in good faith. We should shout all these facts from the rooftops until there is no more Republican Party.

This is what happens when you focus on idiotic religion and non-existent "DEI" in schools instead of actually educating kids with science and facts. Colleges across the country should stop accepting students from Florida and Texas as they are very poorly educated.

In #Tennessee, which technically has open primaries, #Republican officials recently added language to ballots requiring voters to sign a statement “under penalty of perjury” in which they must “declare allegiance” to whichever party whose #primary they vote in.

Elsewhere, #partisans are actively fighting efforts to open up primaries. In #DC, #Democrats have yet to honor the will of voters, who overwhelmingly approved a 2024 referendum to open up partisan primaries to independent voters.
But the #Republican controlled state legislature voted to get rid of that “jungle” system, partly to get rid of #BillCassidy. And it worked. In a state as red as #Louisiana, the #GOP primary is tantamount to the general #election.

Bosses in both parties have been working to change the rules the last few years to make it harder for more moderate politicians like Cassidy to survive.

One reason #BillCassidy was willing to break with #Trump 5 years ago is that #Louisiana had a different #election system than it does now. From 1975 until this year, the top 2 finishers on Election Day, regardless of party, would face each other in a runoff if neither garnered 50%. That allowed a #Republican like Cassidy to win by assembling a coalition that included #independents & moderate #Democrats.
